Chapter 25 (English)

< "I woke up later in my room with women looking after me and since that day I was like a prisoner. I had no place to escape to and I had not achieved my goal. I had also lost the most important and only valuable person in my life. I didn't know what to do and hope was leaving me bit by bit, so that I was just an empty shell. My life consisted mainly of training, because I could deal with the pain and grief better there, even if it didn't make much difference." >Shiro told me with deep sadness.

Before she continued, a small smile appeared on her tear-stained face and she continued < "Until the day you came and showed me how much you loved your siblings. That put me back on my original path. The path Grandma had told me about. At that moment, I wanted nothing more than to belong to you, but I didn't have the heart to say it. When I took you to the harbor, I took my despair out on you in the form of anger. But you called me. You didn't abandon me, you didn't leave me alone. In that moment, I felt joy like never before. I wanted to thank you again for that." >

This statement was unexpected and I didn't know how to react.

I saw her in front of me with red, teary eyes, but I remained neutral and thanked her for her openness and trust in me.

I then told her < "I want to show you something Shiro, but there's still something I have to do. I'll pick you up in the evening, please be ready." >

Without another word, I got up and left.

Shiro regretted that she had told me and thought at that moment that she had scared me off with her story because of my quick exit.

But what she didn't know was that I left quickly because I could no longer hold back my tears.

While she leaned against the door and cried because she thought she had scared me off and possibly lost me, I stood on the other side of the door leaning against it and cried like a toddler and felt even closer to her than before.

In the evening, Shiro was waiting for me to arrive.

Even though she thought she had scared me off, she waited because Shiro thought <"Even though I scared him off, he's the second person in my life to treat me well." >

Then when I arrived, Shiro opened the door for me and I asked her if she was ready to go.

With a bowed head, she answered in the affirmative.

I turned my back to her and she put her hand on my back, whereupon I teleported us to a shore.

She looked around and saw the coast, which resembled an area in Mubae.

But she was completely clueless as to where we were and why we were there.

Then she looked in my direction with a lowered gaze and asked why we were here.

Then I replied < " I learned one thing from my mother. Family is everything.

But she also showed me how special a woman is and that the right woman fills the second empty half of a man.

A woman can be the best thing that happens to a man and support him and take the weight off his shoulders.

Her womb becomes the place where you feel the most peace and tranquility.

A woman is like a diamond and when this diamond appears before me one day, I should not lose it and take care of it, nurture it and protect it.

I should know his weakness and accept it.

I should not only pay attention to its outside, but also to its inside, because sooner or later the outside will no longer shine and will be worn out, but the inside will shine until the end.

But since I've been traveling, I've almost only seen diamonds that show their outer shine instead of their inner shine.

But one diamond only showed me its inner brilliance and this brilliance enchanted me." >

< "What do you mean?" > Shiro asked me, slightly confused.

< "I know I'm still young and inexperienced, but my mother also told me that an early marriage strengthens the relationship because you grow together and learn, accept or improve the 'bad' and 'good' qualities of a person together.

You should think about your decisions carefully and I've had long enough now. It's been two good years, but I've made up my mind. " >, I explained to Shiro.

Shiro knew what I was talking about, but thought that I had chosen another girl and was only standing here to tell Shiro because it would be difficult if I were married and she was living in our house like now.

Shiro felt great sadness and tears streamed down her face again because it seemed to her that it was the end for her in this family that she loved so much and wanted to stay together forever.

With her eyes downcast and tears in her eyes, she saw me get down on my knees in front of her and raised her head with her tear-stained face and swollen eyes and looked into my face.

She saw me holding something in my hand.

It was a small box which I opened with a big smile and she asked < "I want you to fill my second half and for me to share and experience my love, my sadness and my memories with you. So I understand if this is too much at once, but I want to take you as my wife" >

At that moment, Shiro realized that she was the girl he had been talking about and had misunderstood everything.

Filled with joy, she shed more tears and said with relief in a tearful voice < "Yes!" >

I jumped up and looked forward to the positive answer, after that I was so excited that I suddenly riddled Shiro with questions and asked < "When should we get married? Tomorrow? With the family should be enough, right?" >

Shiro just laughed and said < "Yes!" >

Then Nima, Bigs, Ray and Tobo came around the corner and all said together < "Congratulations" >

< "She said yes and you didn't get a basket, did you Jun?" > Bigs asked to make sure and put me in a headlock.

< "I didn't get a basket, but I was so nervous that I almost blew it," > I replied to Bigs.

< "But Jun, why did you make Shiro cry like that at such a good time?" > Nima scolded me.

< "I didn't mean to, I actually asked normally, just like we had practiced" >, I said overly questioned and Shiro just laughed.

The next day, we both signed the marriage license and were therefore considered married.

I then called Tobo and Nima to me and showed Tobo a piece of paper that said Tobo was now officially part of the Mut family.

< "That was Nima's wish in particular, as she wanted you in the family and of course we agreed, as we've all taken you to our hearts. What do you think?" > I asked him.

< "That means we're all a real family from now on. So I have a real family. Thank you very much," > he said with reserved joy, whereupon I took Nima and Shiro from him and hugged them all.

We all went home together and enjoyed the time together until the evening came.
